KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 9 — PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has declared assets worth some RM11.2 million as of last month, removing one excuse political rivals have used to avoid divulging their own wealth.
Of his net worth, the Pakatan Harapan chairman and candidate for Tambun declared RM828,667 in cash and investments.
The remainder of his net worth was in four pieces of property appraised at RM10.4 million that included a house in Segambut, and land in Penang’s Seberang Perai Tengah, Bentong in Pahang, and Pasar Panjang in Port Dickson.
As an MP, his base salary was RM21,755.69.
Later, the asset declaration for Anwar’s wife, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail who is contesting in the Bandar Tun Razak seat, was also posted showing a net worth of RM1.4 million, consisting of RM1 million in savings and four vehicles.
The two were among the latest PKR candidates to have declared their assets as part of their general election platform of integrity and combating corruption.
Previously, PKR’s rivals had used the absence of Anwar’s asset declaration, after others in the party had theirs published, to justify their own refusal to follow suit.
Earlier today, Anwar said he had already made the declaration, but it had not been posted previously as it needed to be notarised.
The asset declaration was posted on PKR’s website with information on its GE15 candidates.
